The family of Roy Codd, 73, who sadly died following a collision at a level crossing near Retford on 20 October are today paying tribute to him.
Officers were called to the crossing on the morning of 20 October and Roy was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
Roy’s son and daughter said:
“We are extremely saddened to announce the passing of our popular, care-free father, known to most as Blue.
Two years ago our dad lost the love of his life, Judith, our mother, who he is now reunited with. He was a dedicated father and husband and we are still coming to terms with his tragic and sudden passing.
He married our mother in 1977 after they met working for British Ropes, he then went on to work as a bus driver for East Midlands/Stagecoach for 30 years before retiring in 2012.
Having lived his whole life in Retford, he’ll also be sorely missed by all that knew him in the area where he’s most known being an ever-smiling bus driver.
We would like to ask that our family’s privacy be respected at this time and for us to be allowed to grieve and remember dad in our own special way.”
